Purely by way of co-incidence I see it's 2 days over a year since I started this thread. Well, the car is finished all bar a trip back to CTL for a couple of small paint glitches where I dropped spanners to be rectified and the final paint polish and then the badges can go on. It's been an enjoyable project, the first Europa I have done and hopefully not the last. Total hours on the restoration came to a shade under 600 and just over £10k on parts, not too bad when you consider it arrived completely dismantled and in about 15 wet cardboard boxes which it had lived in for over 15 years. Thanks to all of you for your support and advice during the restoration which was much appreciated, especially Alex (4129R) without whom the rear window would still be refusing to go in place. I'm sorry I didn't do as I planned and post a series of updates on the restoration, but I just didn't seem to find the time and the idea of posting everything in one thread just didn't work as the questions quickly got buried and missed. If you have any questions or need any information on what I did then don't hesitate to get in touch.

ps: sorry about the wierd perspective in the rear 3/4 picture, I promise you the Elan behind is not a giant!
